Summary
Nick Blaine survived. But survival came at a price — the woman he loved betrayed him when he needed her most, and his conscience remained burdened by shadows from the past. In England, he was given a second chance: an anonymous life far from Gilead.
What he didn’t expect was the return of the one the past had nearly destroyed — Janine, the sole survivor of that tragic night at Jezebel’s. She had every reason to hate him. And yet, she was the first to want to hear his side of the story. And maybe… to decide whether he deserved forgiveness. Or something even more — happiness and a new beginning.
This story follows most events of the canon, along with the one-shot You Never Would’ve Chosen Me, in which Nick escaped his fate on the plane. The tag for Nick/June mainly represents their past relationship — in this story, they are former lovers.

Summary
This is my first attempt at fanfiction, so I’ve tried to approach it with care.
I wanted to blend canon with a few alternate-universe elements and create a happier, meaningful ending. Since the series never explicitly shows Nick’s body, I chose to be creative and explore the parachute possibility. After all, the canon has already bent its own rules, so why not take it further?
Rather than having Nick reunite with June immediately after the landing, I wanted to give these star-crossed lovers time to heal and grow from their experiences in Gilead. Two broken people cannot truly love each other until they first learn to love themselves.
I also felt it was important to give Nick, a good and decent man, his own voice and agency. Their love may have been shattered, but by becoming whole again as individuals, a new kind of love can emerge between them, and I believe they are meant for each other.
This story will also explore themes of psychology, since healing is a vital part of rebuilding self-identity.Series

No Man Chooses Evil Because It's Evil by Loulouflowerpower
Fandoms: The Handmaid's Tale (TV), The Handmaid's Tale Series - Margaret Atwood

Summary
“No man chooses evil because it is evil,” she found herself quoting quietly, tiredly, “He only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks”.
Lawrence looked at her sharply and his breathe seemed to catch, and she found herself peering back at him, watchful and wary, guarded but…strangely, curious, still. He’d committed atrocities against humanity, there was no denying that…and yet, for whatever bizarre, perhaps sick reason, she didn’t think he was evil. She wanted to, it would be easy and totally justified, and yet…
“Why is it…” Lawrence said softly, gazing at her a little bemusedly, “…that I always end up with the perspective Handmaids? Is...is there a sign or something hanging off my front door?”
“Perhaps it's your own special punishment, sir”.

Summary
Season 6, episode 9, you know which scene.
Hey, writers? There were many ways to give Joseph Lawrence a beautiful farewell without totally fucking up June and Nick's characterization. I'm sure there will be many fix-it fics to prove this. Here's mine.
Each chapter is a different variation on how the scene could have gone down. -
